Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 279: Chapter 278: Brutal Killing Intent! [Fifth Release, 16,000 Recommendation Votes Bonus]

Upon hearing Lu Xiaobu shouting to Li Jin to save his life.

Li Jin felt quite troubled.

His ”Green Emperor Longevity Technique” was never meant for showing off, only for logistics.

Sometimes, he really envied Zhang Meng, who didn’t have to think or care and just went straight into action.

But it was different for him, needing to control, provide long-distance support, and even act as a healer!

Truly a pain in the ass!

However, thoughts aside, he still had to clean up the mess for Zhang Meng.

He went over to He Kuo, channeling the Wood Attribute True Qi into He Kuo’s body to sustain his life, allowing him to last until the Young Master finished questioning.

”Ptui!”

He Kuo, stimulated by the True Qi, vomited a mouthful of dirty blood.

He looked at Lu Xiaobu incredulously, ”A Martial Arts practitioner? You actually have a Martial Arts practitioner by your side?”

”Is that so strange?”

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, ”Let’s continue our conversation! I suppose you don’t wish to die, right?”

”Die? Hahaha! What is there to fear in death? Do you think you would spare me?!”

He Kuo laughed heartily as blood spurted from him.

”Why are you so sure I’ll kill you?”

Lu Xiaobu’s eyes narrowed.

”Why? Because once I speak, I am certain you will kill me.”

He Kuo scoffed with a sneer, showing some backbone.

”Oh, and your son? Have you asked him if he wants to die?”

Lu Xiaobu glanced slightly towards the door where He Honghai stood, petrified.

At this moment, He Honghai’s eyes were dull, filled entirely with panic.

He had never seen someone so terrifying!

Who exactly was this Lu Xiaobu?

Why did he know all their plans!?

And why were there such terrifying people around him?

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, He Kuo fell silent.

He looked at his son, then back at Lu Xiaobu.

He opened his mouth but ended up saying nothing.

He originally wanted to ask if Lu Xiaobu would really spare his son.

But after thinking, he realized he had no right to ask that.

”Fine, I’ll tell you what you want to know, as long as you can handle it.”

He Kuo spoke in an even tone.

Despite the neutrality in his voice, everyone present could feel the heavy significance it carried!

What situation could possibly make him say something that even Lu Xiaobu couldn’t bear to hear.

”What were we talking about just now?”

He Kuo, having lost too much blood, was somewhat unclear.

”We were discussing how my mother influenced our destiny.”

Lu Xiaobu reminded him.

”Oh, right, destiny, greed, it’s actually not called greed.”

He Kuo, who was on the verge of death, spoke with goodness, ”It was a normal action by a mother, after all, every person’s birth is the crystallization of their parents, naturally carrying the destiny from both sides.”

”And if your mother forcibly didn’t give you destiny, none of you three brothers would have survived, all would have died young.”

”So your mother had no choice but to confront the He Family, to oppose us!”

He Kuo revealed the truth.

Hearing He Kuo’s words, Lu Xiaobu’s heart sank.

He began to inwardly call her ’mother’.

”But no matter the motivation, the outcome led to my father—oh, and your maternal grandfather, though you definitely wouldn’t acknowledge him—being extremely angry!”

”Eventually, he personally took action, went to the Mainland and captured your mother.”

”Oh, right, it was just after she gave birth to you, during her weakest time; otherwise, it would’ve been very hard to capture her.”

He Kuo’s tone remained calm as if discussing someone else’s matters.

However, the person who was captured was his younger sister.

”Oh?”

Lu Xiaobu’s eyes narrowed.

A fierce rage surged uncontrollably from within.

It was a rage stemming from the body, the body’s reaction to this incident!

It’s the rage of a child just born, who hasn’t even seen his mother!

He took his legs off the table!

No longer lounging leisurely!!!

The killing intent begins to boil!!!

”I still remember that time, your mother was desperately resisting.”

”Yet your father told your mother that if she resisted any further, you, her newborn baby, would die!”

”Your mother was in utter despair, continuously kowtowing, hoping father would forgive her, and let your family reunite properly.”

”However, the reality was cruel, everyone’s gaze was cold!”

”I remember, she also begged me, her white forehead, bloody from the kowtowing. That was the last time she called me big brother.”

He Kuo said these words in a flat tone.

But every single word was like a sharp knife plunging into Lu Xiaobu’s heart.

Blood Silk slowly crept across Lu Xiaobu’s eyeballs!

He could imagine how desperate a mother must feel being forced to leave her newborn child!

He could also imagine how bleak it feels to see one’s own father attack their child and the sibling remaining indifferent!

Even, he felt like he could hear the desperate heart-wrenching screams!

Such human tragedies, when happening on TV, still make people cry!

Let alone!

That child was him!

That she was his mother!

”Continue!”

Lu Xiaobu, with red eyes and gritted teeth, said.

A tyrannical emotion filled his chest; he wanted to kill!

Really wanted to kill!!!

”Later, to protect you, your mother gave up resisting and was captured back to the He Family.”

”She thought that as long as she obeyed, father wouldn’t harm you.”

”However, she thought too simply.”

”Father had already prepared the ritual to seize back the destiny, the reason for capturing your mother was to use the blood ties of close kin to reclaim the destiny!”

”In that moment, your mother truly despaired, and she really got angry!”

”She really is a feng shui genius, actually forcibly reversing the ritual.”

”In the end, only your destiny was taken, your older and second brothers’ destiny remained.”

”That’s also why I asked you why you were still not dead!”

”After that day, the door of the room where your mother was imprisoned was never opened again.”

”This time when I heard He Honghai say that he actually saw you and that you were alive and well.”

”I’m certain in my heart, no matter what anomaly happened, your mother’s methods must have been broken, meaning, reclaiming the destiny is not impossible anymore.”

”That’s why I prepared to capture you. Reclaim the destiny, make a fortune!”

He Kuo continued to speak calmly, wandering on the edge of life and death, he had nothing else to worry about.

Feng shui works like this, pulling one hair moves the whole body.

The supposed-to-be-dead Lu Xiaobu or, that means He Mei’s methods disappeared, at least they are not effective anymore.

”I remember you just said that when destiny is gone, a child may die young, but what if an adult’s destiny is taken?!”

Lu Xiaobu asked violently.

”A better outcome would be constant misfortunes, a worse outcome, death and extinction,” explained He Kuo.

”So, you mean to say, your He Family plans to use the lives of my family for some damn destiny!?”

Lu Xiaobu almost roared out this statement.

”That’s right, you can understand it that way.”

He Kuo looked at the tyrannical Lu Xiaobu and nodded.

Even the corners of his mouth curved into a slight smile!

His gaze involuntarily shifted to He Honghai beside him—Son, both of us are surely dead, but it might be considered as the Heavenly Dao’s cycle, we deserve this.

I can’t save you, but I can revenge for you.

This Lu Xiaobu will definitely kill us, then go after the He Family.

And then, he will die at the He Family.

That would be considered as avenging us, right!

”Zhang Meng, take action, attack the He Family!”

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dramatically, slammed the door and left!

This matter must be settled!

Moreover, deep in his heart, there still lingered a faint hope—her, no, mom, are you still alive?!
